What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Morning All. 6.2 not bad after a W******* curry.
Today its not so much raining cats and dogs more hippos and elephants.
Me and OH plan a trip to the cinema to see Downton Abbey and. Nandos. The distraction will be welcome as today is the third anniversary of my mum’s passing. Will ring my brother first. Went to see youngest son and partners new flat yesterday and came away thinking I have never seen him so happy.
@gennepher hugfor the bad sleep, when that happens to me I often resort to the sofawhich is cosy. @OldButBold hugs from afar for the nasty cough. You cant worry about your BG till that improves. Stay warm and cosy, lots of drinks. @DJC3 that made me laugh out loud you may as well share a jar of Basics PB. @SueJB welcome back and sorry for the tough run of hypos. @SaskiaKC hope you feel a lot better today.
Try and have a great Sunday everyone. Take great care out there. Stsy safe, stay well and get better.
 
Good morning folks from a pretty dreary start at the little house on the prarie.

The wonder wheel of too much food resulted in a graph like a roller coaster and a 5.7 on eventually getting up.

Wonderful day yesterday with three of the grandchildren: jumping in puddles, then the sun came out, visiting animals in the zoo, ice creams melting down little arms, a pirate show, home made meatballs.

Just checked in for our flight tomorrow to Bordeaux - going to help my dad celebrate his 90th birthday.

Have a great day if you can, big hugs for those in pain, more for anyone else who needs one.
 
5.7 today. Maybe the kebab last night eaten quite late. Or the extra few nuts I had. Who knows.

I've been invited to help on a stall at this event. It looks amazing. Sharing for info.

I've also been contacted via Twitter to share my journey (interview) with gp from northern Ireland. Looking forward to that. What is becoming very apparent is that GPs and HCPs are unhappy with current guidelines.

Oh yes, also invited to talk at low carb Leeds session. It's all very exciting.

Happy Sunday to all.

The joys of dozing off in a chair after rising to the sound of rain smashing our lovely garden to pieces is the sun is now
shinning and all is calm. So good morning one and all with a 5.6 at 6 am.

My motorcycle can do 230 miles before it needs fuel - unfortunately I have a 40 minute bladder at the best of times.
So every 40 miles on the open road and of course you stick to the national speed limit

Off to the DIY store to get a new cylinder lock. We have lost a key, searched for hours with no joy and Mrs MC is nervous so I have to fit a new lock before we zoom off to music rehearsals. It looks very easy on the internet videos, wish me luck.

Wishing you all a dry day.
 
@SueJB sorry to hear that madam is misbehaving but good to hear from you again. @OldButBold sorry to hear of your woes and hope the meds do their job. @dunelm the juxtaposition between grandchildren day and 90th birthday sounds perfect - enjoy. Some sympathy with those whose bladder gives problems.
 

These type of dreams sound like magic. I don't hardly dream at all. Apart from the one everyone seems to have. The one where you are falling off the world's tallest building but wake up with a jolt just before you hit the ground! Not half as pleasant as yours!
 
I keep going back to these as they are so cute.
 
@HarryBeau how about one of these cats?!
 
5.7 this morning - so slowly going down. Waiting for a break in the rain so we can walk around the block.

So a relaxing day catching up with the newspapers (haven't read Thursday's 'I' yet). Or maybe not so relaxing as Rugby is on and husband is rather vocally supporting Wales against Australia.
 
A Wet miserable Sunday here in the capital.
A not too bad 5.3 for me.

My last day at work, so mixed emotions.
Perhaps a leaving drink, if I can push myself to go,

I expect a mixed bag tomorrow morning..

Have a good un all, if ya can.

This is a major change jjraak (sorry for stating the obvious) so it's not surprising you have some anxiety...initially it will be awkward and a little sad...however it's a great opportunity for an exciting change...some time to look round for another job...another hobby...a bike trip...some time to consider all your options...good luck.
